The Frozen River: A Novel | Ariel Lawhon

Thanks for the #ChatterDay tag @TheSpineView 🤗 I‘m back at the coffee shop to try to finish up my work project after getting a little reading in while I have breakfast.

I hope to get to addressing my #SpringCardSwap envelopes & catching up on some #LitsyLove mail before I run my errands.

tpixie This book was so great! Martha was a remarkable woman. The marriage portrayed was beautiful. Her descendants inherited her strength- Clara Barton ( Red Cross) & Dr Mary Hobart ( one of the 1st female physicians in USA) 🦋🦋🦋 1d

TheSpineView YW! Happy Saturday 1d

A mix of history, romance and life lessons during a time when women were expected to be seen and not heard. Really enjoyed it.

This lives up to the hype. Push it to the top of your TBR. Martha Ballard is a strong female character/historical figure who you'll want to meet. This will make me look to read Lawhon's other books. DO NOT skip the author's note at the end!

LoverOfLearning This book is exploding in popularity! So many people seem to love it. 3w

Based on the actual diary of Martha Ballard, the novel blends historical fiction with mystery, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a midwife in post-Revolutionary America. The historical insight into the justice system—particularly its treatment of women—is fascinating. I didn‘t want the story to end. Don‘t skip the author‘s note at the end—it adds even more depth to an already immersive read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ❤️📚 This was my #bookspin for February.

An appropriate read for this 2degF snowy Kansas day!! ❄️🩵 ❄️
All the schools are closed, but unfortunately, I still have to go to work. I suspect a quiet day, so I‘ll bring my book just in case!! So far, this is a wonderfully written book with a lovely midwife and a mystery. 🩵 ❄️🩵

dabbe @tpixie Totally appropriate title! 🩶💚🩶 3w

tpixie @dabbe yes! This book was amazing, if you haven‘t read it. It‘s based on a midwife from the 1700s who had over 1000 birthd and none died. Her character in the book is amazing and her relationship with her husband was amazing. Well written. (edited) 1w
